A child with Moebius syndrome and minor extremity anomalies is described. Her father had a transverse defect of the right arm with absence of the radius and ulna just below the elbow but no cranial nerve dysfunction. While possibly unrelated, review of the literature suggests these anomalies may both be part of a single broad spectrum syndrome, perhaps dominantly inherited.
